CV Header
Your CV header lists all your important contact details, usually your name, profession, address, contact number and email. While it’s essential for letting potential employers know how to get in touch with you, it’s important that your header is eye-catching and appropriate for the job role you’re applying for. Feel free to play around with the layout, colors, fonts and spacing to create a polished and professional look.
Writing your header should be relatively simple since your contact details are usually committed to memory, but designing a good header can be a bit more difficult. That’s why we’ve designed professional header templates, with all the layout and formatting taken care of for you. Simply enter your contact information and select a template that suits you and your job role!

Academic CV Example
Your professional profile, alternatively known as a personal statement, is like an overview of your professional background and experiences. It conveys the essence of who you are on a professional level, and should be treated like a brief introduction to who you are and what you have to offer to potential employers.
When writing your professional profile, it’s worth asking yourself: What makes me unique? If you’ve completed exemplary research, received an impressive award in the academic field or featured in scholarly journals, don’t be afraid to share your point of difference! Your professional profile should showcase your professional excellence and let employers know why you’re the ideal candidate for the role.

Employment History
As an academic, you’re likely already a pro at articulating your ideas and thoughts. In your employment history section, you’ll want to share your professional experiences and background with as much accuracy and allure as possible. Whether you did a semester teaching in Spain or taught English in Turkey, employers want to know why you stand out!
It’s best to list your employment history in reverse chronological order, beginning with your most recent job role. You’ll want to include the name of your employer, the location, the years you spent in that role and any accomplishments you achieved during that time. It’s important to be specific and incorporate facts and numbers where relevant and possible.

Academic CVs & Education
Now for the education section! As an academic, you should feel right at home. Just like your employment history section, you’ll want to include your most recent qualification and the highest degree that you have earned. For example, if you have a Ph.D in Genetic Engineering, you’ll want to put that first. If you also earned a Master’s Degree in Marine Biology, that one will go second (look at you go!). Where relevant, you’ll also want to include any scholarly certifications and qualifications, but be sure to leave out any unnecessary details that don’t support your job application.
We also recommend including stand-out achievements. For example, if you graduated at the top of your class in University or high school, be sure to include specific details! Additionally, if you were recognised for any academic achievements or honours, or you belong to any academic societies, don’t be afraid to share your academic shine with employers in this section.
